Presentation
The Presentation functionality enables you to show PC, DocCam (Document Camera), VCR,
AUX and VNC sources in addition to your Main Camera. This is perfect for meetings where
you would like to show a PowerPoint presentation for instance. You can even use arrow keys
up and down on the remote control to activate Page Up/Down on the PC. (This only applies
when using VNC).
Use Presentation outside a call to make a local presentation for the people in your own
meeting room. Use Presentation when you are in a call to make a presentation for the far end
as well.

The presentation key shows a predefined video source, PC is default. It is possible to change
the presentation source in Control Panel - Administrator Settings - Presentations Settings.

Presentation menu offers you all available video sources: Main Camera, PC, DocCam, VCR,
AUX and VNC.
Live PC images
When showing a presentation from your laptop PC, remember to
connect your PC to the video system with a VGA cable. Make sure
that your PC transmits the image to the VGA Output. On most
laptop PCs you must press a special key combination to switch the
image.
Note: The image will appear smoother on the system if your
presentation is already displaying in full screen on your PC prior to
connecting your PC to the video system.

Picture Layouts
The Layout key on the remote control has two behaviours depending on the Picture Layout
setting in Administrator Settings (see Control Panel - Administrator Settings – General –
Screen Settings). It can provide either a Picture in Picture (PIP) or a Picture outside Picture
(POP). POP is recommended for wide screens.
Picture in Picture
With Picture in Picture (PIP), the layout key makes it possible to see an extra picture in a
smaller view. PIP will always appear on the main monitor. Automatic PIP is the system's
default setting. That means that you will automatically show Picture in Picture when it is
suitable (see Control Panel - Administrator Settings - Presentation Settings).
